well this just keeps happening - spent years trying to find a lovely song by Kodály from our childhood and once again the reason why we couldn't find it is because it turns out it's by Bartók - anyway listen to this mmmmm
we sang an english version, but the original hungarian is saying something like:
only tell me, my rose, by which road you leave me - and that road I'll plough with a [golden?] ploughshare - and I'll sow it with pearls and harrow it with my heavy tears
(any hungarians want to correct this? it's a very rough attempt)

Restlessness: A Syllabus
I am interested in texts that are pure voice or deal with difficult experience using a tone that does not offer relief or stop for comfort. Sometimes, the power in the text comes from powerlessness, whether personal or political. Sometimes, death is close or danger beckons or violence is threatened or enacted. Sometimes, there is a sense of real personal risk in the text’s revelations. Sometimes, there is little left to lose. All the time, the tone is incantatory or staccato or filled with melancholy recognitions.

2024年春の仕事
ここへ来てようやく春らしい陽射しが注いでくるようになりました。それまで福岡では、気温は平年と変わらないものの、重い雲が垂れ込め、時折雨風が強くなる日が続いていて、気分も体調も落ち込むことが多かったので嬉しく思っています。学期の始まりの慌ただしさもようやくひと段落し、溜め込んだ仕事に少しずつ取り組んでいるところです。美学と哲学の講義にも、またこれらを深めるゼミにも熱心な学生がいて刺激を受けています。ゼミではエドワード・W・サイードの晩年の著作を読み始めました。���が何を問い続けてきたのかを顧みることをつうじて、現在の厳しい状況を見通す思考の方途を探れればと思います。
